  1. 1. здесь была бритт мари

    After leaving a life defined by routines and a faltering marriage, a meticulous middle-aged woman takes a job caring for a nearly abandoned small town and its community center. Initially uncomfortable and obsessed with order, she gradually bonds with the town’s children and neighbors, helps form a ragtag soccer team, and through small acts of patience and stubborn kindness finds new purpose, friendships, and a tentative way to live beyond her old rules.

  2. 2. Что мой сын должен знать об устройстве этого мира

    Сборник коротких, искренних и часто остроумных посланий от отца к сыну, в которых через личные анекдоты и наблюдения автор рассуждает о любви, мужестве, уязвимости и человечности, учит ценить простые радости, быть сострадательным и сохранять достоинство в сложном и порой абсурдном устройстве мира.

  3. 3. Britt Marie War Hier

    A meticulous, risk-averse woman in her sixties walks out of a stagnant marriage and takes a surprising job in a struggling small town, where her insistence on order and decency collides with — and gradually softens into — unexpected friendships: a ragged children’s soccer team, quirky neighbors, and a community that teaches her how to find purpose, courage, and human connection late in life.
